The 17yr cicada invasion is just starting to wind down in the CLE area. I've had a chance to eat a few over the last couple of weeks. Done a couple soft shell crab recipies, tossed some with scrambled eggs and had some raw (live). The raw taste is a bit nutty with an overall flavor reminiscent of canned asparagus.

Had some friends over for a wine tasting and one brought a '99 burg. Nice pairing - two 17yr olds

High 'ick' factor due to the appearance. If you can get over that they are surprisingly tasty.

Anybody else give these a try?
